workflow id is randomly generated number so I do not think it can be guessed easily and to answer you question this is not "by design" thing. User whom task is assigned can only see the workflow details.

Thank you for your reply.

workflowIds cannot be guessed easily, however someone might try to discover them with a script, say.

What I meant by "by design" was is it an acknowledged and accepted feature that the system is like this, i.e. userB can see details of userA's workflow if he can guess or find out the workflowId, even if he himself (i.e. userB) has nothing to do with the workflow.
